Hello,
I have had Kodi 17.6 running on Windows 10 and Windows 7 computers for some time. I use NextPVR as the PVR client, with the "server" version installed on the Windows 10 machine and the "client" version installed on the Windows 7 machine. The system has worked well for me, and I appreciate all the hard work from the Kodi and Next PVR teams.
Today, I decided to start the process of upgrading to Kodi 18.2. I began with the Windows 7 computer, and decided to install 18.2 on top of 17.6. I took a backup using the Kodi backup tool available in the repository before I started. The install process seemed to go smoothly, but I did get a warning that binary addons would not be installed and I would have to install them separately. That meant, primarily for me, NextPVR. I proceeded and the installation process completed without further notices.
Rather than install NextPVR right away, I decided to restore from my backup, just to make sure all the settings were correct -- or at least the same as they were in 17.6 -- then I installed NextPVR. I got an information message reminding me that the backup came from a different version of Kodi, but I proceeded with the restore anyway. I got no errors in this process. After the restore finished, I installed NextPVR from the repository.
When I finished installing NextPVR, I decided to try to watch live TV on the newly-upgraded machine. Video was very choppy and unwatchable. It was fine before the upgrade. Recorded TV programs and other videos play back just fine.
Can anyone advise what I need to do to fix this live-TV choppiness? Could it be that I have not yet upgraded the "server" to 18.2, or that the server is running a different version of NextPVR, or do I need to generate a log file to proceed further?
Thanks for any help.
